Any person who shall violate any of the provisions of the International, National, and Uniform codes hereby adopted or fail to comply therewith, or who shall violate or fail to comply with any order made thereunder, or who shall build in violation of any detailed statement of specifications or plans submitted and approved thereunder, or any certificate or permit issued thereunder, and from which no appeal has been taken or who shall fail to comply with such an order as affirmed or modified by the county fire commission or by a court of competent jurisdiction, within the time fixed herein, shall severally for each and every such violation and noncompliance respectively, be guilty of a misdemeanor, punishable by a fine of not more than five hundred dollars ($500.00) or by imprisonment for not more than six (6) months, or by both such fine and imprisonment. The imposition of one penalty for any violation shall not excuse the violation or permit it to continue; and all such persons shall be required to correct or remedy such violations or defects within a reasonable time, and when not otherwise specified, each ten (10) days that a violation continues shall constitute a separate offense. If such a separate offense or further offenses based upon the same conditions which result in the initial charge shall occur, then, in addition to imprisonment or fine or both, the court shall have the alternative of closing and sealing or impounding the premises or property involved until such violation is proved in court to have been corrected.
